80's lighting tests

Below are all of the other lighting tests that led to the final lighting. 

animation tests - Narrative

Below are the playblasts for the scenes that I animated. 

This is the final jumping on bed scene animated 

This was the final box drop but it has changed to drop a little later in the animation 

The final dance sequence for the inventor

lighting test

I think i finally figured out the midday lighting for the room, image A is the best representation of the midday lighting.

Texturing and UV mapping

 I had some problems with the seams of the textures but after asking for some help from a third year i was able to resolve these issues. I didn't have to UV map the head of the character because his face is no longer shown in our animatic    

Narrative Character animation tests

I've been working on the scene 1 with the train character, trying to get him standing up correctly.below are my the current test that I have been doing.

I tried to  do the above test last night but I realised I really needed to use a light box to see what was happening with the animation. 

I had two other test in-between standing test 01 and standing test 04 but the files won't playback anymore they were just me adding more frames and figuring out how to make the stand work. 

Test 4 is the best one so far if you can see where  I need to add or take away frames please feel free to comment below. 

Narrative Characters

Here are both characters completed before we go onto the next step of rigging texturing and skinning I'm gonna get Alan to have a look at the characters to make sure that they are ready to move onto the next step.

Narrative - Character modelling

I am currently working on modelling the character below is my progression so far, I had to redo my side profiles because my previous side profiles were incorrect.

Narrative Pitch

Storyboard

Updated Final  Storyboard After Pitch 

Initial Final  Storyboard 

Final concepts & initial sketches - Narrative

The changes made are very small, I just changed the jaw line so that they are all the same  so that this would be easy for  modelling I made these changes after the pitch when my tutors said that it would be ok for the characters to all have the same head shape because I made their body types very similar to make modelling simple. 

Narrative - character

I have been working on the character design for the three characters,  the group agreed on the facial influences that I would use to base the character on. I came up with characters after a lot of refining and the final characters will be based of the colour tests depending on the characters colours that the group like. I will also be adding a print to the train character and adding more shadows to the 2d line drawn character.

Narrative project: Character thumbnails

Above are thumbnails that I did for the characters, I liked one of the face shapes from set D and tried to create three different versions of the same character in set E. After the talk with Alan we were advised to go with a more stylized look and to look at actors and people who have faces that have a timeless quality. 

Rough storyboard

Today myself and the group sat down and roughed out our storyboard together figuring out every shot that we wanted for the animation. 

Thumbnails

My group decided to create a few thumbnails over the weekend for the different scenes that we will have in our animation. We had a meeting today in which we shared our thumbnails and have split up the responsibilities for the different roles needed for the concepts.
